Synopsis

Pairing an impeccable ensemble cast with hilarious wit and popular tunes, WKRP In Cincinnati celebrated four amazing seasons, making it the quintessential situation comedy for any music lover! Join everyone's favorite radio DJs — the rockin' Dr. Johnny Fever (Howard Hesseman) and the soulful Venus Flytrap (Tim Reid) — as they weave through the inner-office antics of the crazy WKRP staff including the station's steady program director Andy (Gary Sandy), indecisive manager Carlson (Gordon Jump), smarmy advertising executive Herb (Frank Bonner), quirky news man Les Nessman (Richard Sanders), shy ingénue Bailey (Jan Smithers) and, of course, the station's lovely receptionist, Jennifer (Loni Anderson). So sit back and enjoy the sound of uproarious laughter as you watch all 90 episodes of this iconic series!

Note About The Music On This Set: Since Shout! Factory first announced that we would be releasing the WKRP In Cincinnati: The Complete Series on DVD, speculation about how much original music we’d be able to clear has been rampant. And understandably so—in WKRP, music is almost a character itself, an essential aspect of what makes it one of the best-loved shows of all time. We believe that we’ve kept the integrity—and the spirit—of the show as intact as anyone could have. We hope you agree. This set features music by The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, AC/DC, Eric Clapton, Bob Marley, The Doors, Grateful Dead, Blondie, Tom Petty, The Cars, Elvis Costello, Marvin Gaye, Paul McCartney and Wings, Van Morrison, The Police, Otis Redding & more.
